Winged cats discovered in western China (43)
on
Boing Boing (4383) permalink
Winged cats have been known to exist since the 19th century, but only a handful of people have actually seen—let alone owned—one. This woman in Sichuan province watched as her beloved kitty grew angel wings on his back last summer after a bunch of female cats tried to mate with him. "Many female cats in heat came to harass him, and then the wings started to grow," she said. Geneticists have a less romantic theory. ...Shared by Adam (39) Adam Selwood (22) Alan Cheslow (49) Alex (102) Alvin A.

Good news! Zaparil, a dapper soul with language skills, Photoshop, and a lot of spare time, has taken it upon himself to translate Wondermark into Russian. And, so far as I can tell, he's doing a great job! So in case you need to read Wondermark in Russian, there it is.Contribute comment -

...and, for good measure, criticizes feminists for decrying violence against women. On his radio show yesterday, Rush Limbaugh said, Obama's patriotism is not being attacked in an ad.
